I'm looking for a script or method on how to Make a link on the parent page. Preferably one that opens a DHTML Modal Iframe window that when an action is performed on that window or a link is clicked and the window is closed the original link that was clicked points to a different url and when that is clicked it takes you to the different url.

Or a way to iframe a page and when the form inside the iframed page is submitted or the iframed page changes to a different url a link becomes available to click.

I wonder if anyone on here is good enough to solve this problem and post some source to work with. I am a beginner to intermediate web developer. I can understand well documented code and make changes but when it comes to writing my own it's like greek. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Guys!

So, i've been messing around with java and onload events and found a solution to my iframe loading quandaries.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var total_loads=0;
function addload()
{
try
{
total_loads++;

if (total_loads>3)
{
window.parent.document.all["myFrame"].style.display = "NONE";
}
}
catch(err)
{

}
}
</script>
</head>

<body style="background-color:#181720">

<div align="center">
<div style="background-image:url(backdiv.png);overflow: hidden; width: 291px; height: 111px; position: relative;" id="i_div">
<iframe onload="addload()" id="myFrame" name="i_frame" src="url1.php" style="border: 0pt none ; left: -133px; top: -424px; position: absolute; width: 1023px; height: 640px;" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Now if i could just figure out how to Make a link trigger that to load and integrate that into the equation i'll have the problem solved. I'm such a JS n00bi3, HELP PLZ! =D

Or if i could figure a way to work that script into a dhtml modal popup and integrate the link that way that would be optimal. This is so frustrating. If anyone is a god of JS please help. If you can't do it that's understandable. thanks for looking =)
